The first time I did reflexology on my husband I used a very light touch. I was actually practicing my routine on him and just needed his feet. I knew from my training that he could not withstand the deep stimulation I learned in my classes. To my surprise, he had a very positive response anyway. Thus I learned that a gentle approach can be just as effective. Over time, I was able to go deeper with the reflex technique as his feet continued to heal.

I don't have PN but do have tender feet and I too prefer a more gentle touch.
